  • Such implements can be used for a variety of agricultural tasks such. as a mower, tape rake or other haymaking equipment, it being essential that the implement should be pivotable with respect to the host vehicle about an axis extending in the direction of travel axis.
  • the attachment is usually made to a hoist and the drive whose equipment by means of a PTO and PTO shaft on the front or rear side of a carrier vehicle.
  • Said two-part design of the support frame of the implement allows a favorable ground adjustment of the tools in the field with changing angles of inclination.
  • Such a working device is described in CH 692 564 A5, namely there is a rotary mower, in which a plurality of work tools are arranged transversely to the direction of travel next to each other and driven by a drive axle, not shown.
  • the drive between towing vehicle and work tools is also not shown in detail.
  • the attachment frame known from this document has two frame parts, which are mounted to each other oscillating about an axis extending in the direction of travel.
  • the mounted on the support vehicle frame part engages over the other hinged to him frame part, the storage between the two frame parts is arranged in the direction of travel of the implement before the actual work tools, so that the working tools on the floor surface to be worked "pulled".
  • 37 717 C2 is an agricultural implement, which also has a two-part support frame in which the working tools supporting frame part is suspended pendulum on the frame mounted on the carrier vehicle, however, a central joint is provided, the axis transverse to the direction of travel parallel extends to the frame of the working tools, wherein this joint is designed as a ball joint, and thus allows a pendulum articulation about a virtual axis running in the direction of travel.
  • this joint is designed as a ball joint, and thus allows a pendulum articulation about a virtual axis running in the direction of travel.
  • To fix the two frame parts to each other further hinge rods are provided, which are also hinged on ball joints on the two frame parts. These linkage rods serve to fix the angular adjustment between the frame part carrying the tools and the frame part arranged on the carrier vehicle.
  • the drive of the rotary mower is carried out by a below the support frame mounted on the frame part by means of a propeller shaft performed on the drive shafts of the mower.
  • the joint connecting the two frame parts together is also arranged in the direction of travel in front of the work tools, wherein the mounted on the carrier vehicle frame part engages over the working equipment supporting frame part.
  • DE 4407 812 A1 discloses a double bevel gear on which working tools are driven, it being possible due to the counter-rotating output shafts to change by turning the drive belt from the pulley of a shaft to that of the other shaft, the direction of rotation of the working tools.
  • This EP 1400 160 A1 discloses a pendulum device for a field processing machine, wherein two mutually controlled pivotable frame parts are provided, the tubular pivot axis serves as a passage for the drive shaft of the field-working machine; a transfer case or the like is not provided.
  • the invention has for its object to achieve the smallest possible dimensions having drive of oppositely rotating working tools.
  • this object is solved by the features of claim 1. Due to the simultaneous decrease in power in both directions of rotation, this double-cone drive, which is also called a dual drive, allows a reduction of the drive elements such as double-bevel gears, coaxial drive shafts and subsequent elements, which means that there are practically no restrictions in the actual working range, eg in the mowing part must be taken. This is also because, because of the working tools directly driving the drive shaft, the actual working part of the implement can be kept flat, whereby, for example, the outflow of crop is not hindered. In addition, it is achieved that despite pivoting of the frame parts always all work tools are driven evenly. It will continue achieved a reduction and homogenization of the bearing forces and the loads in the gear housing. Finally, the opposing directions of rotation of the coaxially arranged drive shafts are achieved directly, which has an advantageous effect on the already mentioned reduction in the dimensioning of the further drive elements in counter-rotating working tools.
  • connection between the PTO shaft and the drive shaft can be coupled to the drive shaft by means of a quick-release connection, wherein the drive shaft receiving part of the mutual storage of mutually pivotable frame parts is designed as a hollow body and receives the quick-release connection.
  • the drive shaft receiving part of the mutual storage of mutually pivotable frame parts is designed as a hollow body and receives the quick-release connection.
  • a support frame which consists of two frame parts 2 and 3, of which the one frame part 2 is provided for connection to the hoist of a carrier vehicle and the second frame part 3 carries the necessary tools for the working tools 25 to 29.
  • the two frame parts 2,3 are mutually pivotable about a bearing 4, wherein the axis of the bearing 4 extends in the direction of travel of the entire implement.
  • a tubular extension 2 '3' which engage coaxially with each other.
  • These two tubular extensions 2 '3' are secured against slipping by a safety device 2 ", and on the frame part 3 a transverse bar 3" is provided, which subsequently carries the working tools 25 to 29.
  • a drive shaft 5 is supported by the extensions 2 ', 3', which can be connected to the PTO shaft of the carrier vehicle via a pivot shaft 6.
  • the propeller shaft 6 is connected to the drive shaft 5 via a quick-release connection 7, wherein this quick-release connection 7 is disposed within the tubular 4-forming extensions 2 '3' forming the bearing.
  • Such a quick release connection 7 can be designed for example as Aufsteckgabel with sliding pin or with axial pulling closure.
  • Such couplings are commercially available and are therefore not described in detail.
  • the frame part 3 further has a gear housing 8, in which the drive shaft 5 protrudes with its the quick-release connection 7 opposite end.
  • output shafts 9,10 are also mounted, which are provided coaxially to each other, wherein the output shaft 9, the output shaft 10 passes through. Both drive shafts 9,10 are at right angles to the drive shaft 5.
  • the output shafts 9,10 are provided with drive members for driving the working tools 25,26 and in the present case with pulleys 11,12.
  • the drive of the output shafts 9,10 is formed as a dual drive 13, for which purpose a bevel gear 14 is provided on the protruding into the gear housing 8 end of the drive shaft 5, which meshes with its diametrically opposite areas with bevel gears 15,16, of which the one Bevel gear 15 with the output shaft 9 and the other bevel gear 16 is rotationally connected to the output shaft 10.
  • a bevel gear 14 is provided on the protruding into the gear housing 8 end of the drive shaft 5, which meshes with its diametrically opposite areas with bevel gears 15,16, of which the one Bevel gear 15 with the output shaft 9 and the other bevel gear 16 is rotationally connected to the output shaft 10.
  • belt pulleys 19, 20 can be driven via the pulleys 11, 12 by means of one or more belts, which are seated on the drive shafts 21, 22, which are mounted on the crossbar 3 "of the frame part 3 by means of bearings 23, 24
  • the drive of the tools 25 to 29 takes place in such a way that a bevel drive 30 is provided on the drive shaft 21 engaging directly with the working tool 21 and a bevel drive 31 on the drive shaft 22 acting on the working tool 26, both of which drive a drive shaft 32 which drives the drive shaft 32 Further conical drives 33, 34, 35 for the additional working tools 27, 28, 29 are arranged on this drive shaft 32. 22 takes place a corresponding opposite movement of the working tools 25 to 29th
  • the two frame parts 2, 3 can pivot freely relative to one another about the bearing 4 due to the central oscillation, wherein in FIG. 2 only the middle position is shown.
  • the pivoting movement can take place on both sides by at least 30 ° each.
  • the drive shaft 5 always remains the same means of pivotal movement, so that the propeller shaft 6 does not change position during pivoting of the two frame parts to each other, so that no additional forces are exerted on the joints of the propeller shaft 6.
